Discover more about Landbogården

Nestled on Ærøskøbing’s oldest main street, Landbogården is more than a restaurant: it’s an enduring community space where the old town’s past and its lively present mingle. Set within a characterful historic building, this multi-purpose spot radiates warmth, with exposed timber, flickering candlelight, and a courtyard perfect for Danish summer evenings. The menu is proudly island-based, featuring well-prepared classics and seasonal dishes showcasing Ærø’s proximity to the sea and the island’s own harvests—expect robust open-faced sandwiches, fresh seafood, and hearty mains crafted with a locavore ethos. The kitchen’s aroma spills into the main dining room, while laughter and live music drift from the adjacent bar on many weekends. But Landbogården’s role as a cultural nucleus is felt beyond food. The stage welcomes both emerging and established Danish musicians, with everything from folk concerts to impromptu jam sessions in the mix. Locals gather here for film nights, poetry readings, and exuberant dance parties, especially during the long light of Nordic summer. The relaxed, convivial vibe makes everyone feel at home, whether arriving in muddy hiking boots or dressed for an evening out. Families are welcome, with kids’ events in the garden during festivals or weekends, and the staff—known for their friendliness—offer local insights in flawless English. Prices are moderate for Denmark, with mains often ranging from 120–170 DKK and local beers by the draught. While no admission ticket is required, occasional concerts may carry a cover charge (typically 50–80 DKK). The building’s accessibility is generally good, but some parts feature small steps or uneven floors, echoing its heritage. Landbogården remains open for both lunch and dinner most days, with an alluring energy that shifts with the mood of the island: tranquil in winter, bustling in high season. For visitors craving a taste of genuine Ærø life—with flavors, tunes, and local color—there’s nowhere quite like it.
